Why Silikal road marking services?
Durability
MMA road markings are known for their exceptional durability. They resist intense traffic loads, harsh weather conditions, and tire damage. Because of this durability, there is less need for regular maintenance and reapplication.
Skid Resistance
MMA road markings provide strong skid resistance, making driving safer. This is especially crucial in rainy or slippery weather because it helps cars retain better grip.
Visibility
Our MMA road markings are visible during the day and at night. Because of their high reflectivity, they stay readily visible even in low-light circumstances, leading to improved traffic safety.
Color Stability
The MMA road markings’ colour remains constant. They are less susceptible to fading from UV exposure and weathering, ensuring the marks stay brilliant and clear for an extended time.
Flexibility
Modification
Customization
These markings may be made to match specific road design and traffic management needs. They can contain various symbols, signs, letters, and numbers to convey traffic restrictions and information.
Chemical Resistance
Longevity
Why are Silikal MMA road marking services a better choice over water-based paints and thermoplastics?
Methyl methacrylate (MMA), thermoplastics, and water-based paints are commonly employed for road marking services. Among these options, MMA stands out for its superior durability. Additionally, its rapid curing time allows for quicker reopening of roads, making it a more efficient choice compared to both water-based paints and thermoplastic.
Water-based paints often need multiple coats to achieve the desired opacity and durability.
On the other hand, thermoplastics need to be heated to high temperatures before application, which requires specialized equipment and skilled labour. Unfortunately, errors in application and burns are common in thermoplastic because it is applied at high temperatures.
In contrast, MMA road markings last far longer compared to both water-based paints and thermoplastic. Moreover, they can be applied under various weather conditions and do not require substrate heating. These qualities of MMA make it an exceptionally versatile and reliable option for road marking applications.
MMA excels in harsh environmental conditions and can withstand rough usage, which translates to reduced maintenance costs and a more environmentally conscious choice for road marking projects.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
What are MMA cold plastic markings?
MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) cold plastic marking, sometimes called hard plastic road marking, makes long-lasting and obvious traffic signs and markings. In contrast to conventional thermoplastic markings, MMA cold plastic markings are applied at room temperature, making it a flexible option for diverse road marking projects.
The following are some crucial characteristics and advantages of MMA cold plastic marking:
As the name implies, MMA cold plastic markings can be applied without external heating apparatus. As a result, it can be used for a broader range of weather conditions and application energy use is decreased.MMA is highly durable.
Road markings made of MMA are incredibly long-lasting. They can tolerate large traffic volumes, severe weather, and UV exposure without fading or deteriorating.
Rapid Curing
Because MMA markings cure fast, there are fewer traffic delays. At the same time, they are being placed, and roads can reopen sooner once maintenance or new markings have been put down.
Visibility
Even in bad weather like rain and fog, MMA road markings are renowned for their exceptional visibility, which increases the safety of bicycles, pedestrians, and drivers on the road.
Skid Resistance
Our road markings can be tailored to offer high levels of skid resistance, lowering the likelihood of accidents caused by slick road conditions.
Longevity
MMA road markings last longer than typical paint or thermoplastic markings, which lowers the need for regular maintenance and re-marking.
Customization: MMA can be mixed easily with several additives to produce marks of varying colours, forms, and designs, enabling better organization of parking and traffic areas.
Low VOC Emissions
Because MMA road markings release few volatile organic compounds (VOCs), they are both environmentally friendly and comply with air quality standards.
Reflectivity
Many MMA road markings include reflective qualities that improve visibility and road safety at night.
Minimal Disruption
Due to the quick curing time of our road markings, they may be applied during off-peak traffic times, minimizing disruption to regular traffic flow.
Chemical Resistance
Because MMA markers are chemically inert, they are appropriate for roadways exposed to oil, fuel, and other potentially corrosive substances.
Customization:
MMA can be easily mixed with various additives to create markings of different colours, shapes, and designs, allowing for better organization of traffic and parking areas.MMA cold plastic marking is frequently used to mark crosswalks, lane separators, stop lines, pedestrian crossings, and bike lanes. Many road authorities and contractors favour it because of its dependability, visibility, and simplicity of application.
Difference between MMA and thermoplastics.
MMA is a liquid monomer that polymerizes to create a solid substance. It is a particular variety of acrylic resin. On the other hand, thermoplastics are polymers that cannot significantly change when melted and remoulded.
Thermoplastics must be heated to a high temperature of 200 degrees Celsius before being applied, whereas heating is unnecessary for MMA.
Burns are frequently caused by this high temperature, which calls for competent labourers. Additionally, moist surfaces cannot be used to apply thermoplastics.
Before application, the surface should be dehydrated.
Typical applications for MMA in flooring systems include road line marking, the floors of commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, auto shops, and industrial settings, all of which require long-lasting, chemical-resistant materials with quick cure periods. Thermoplastics are used in various products, such as packaging, automobile parts, medical equipment, consumer items, and building materials.
The strong impact resistance, superior chemical resistance, and quick cure of MMA flooring are all advantages. Because it offers a flawless finish, it can be applied in thin layers. High strength-to-weight ratios, chemical resistance, and adaptability are all characteristics of thermoplastics. Processes, including injection moulding, extrusion, and thermoforming, can mould them into various shapes.
Because MMA road markings cure quickly, installation takes unique skills. It entails applying the liquid MMA to the substrate after mixing it with aggregates. Thermoplastics are often produced as sheets, pellets, or other shapes, and depending on the intended application, they are subsequently treated using various techniques.
MMA lasts longer than thermoplastics by 5 years. MMA road markings have a very long lifespan of up to 10 years.
